'It should be compared to the purchasing power of the US dollar' Maybe I'm being way too simplistic but to me gold is only a measure of whether we are in a period of disinflation or rising inflationary pressures.. What about when gold lost three fourths of it's value in between 1980-2001 on a nominal basis? Housing, stocks, bonds, most things you needed went up a lot during that time, the monetary base kept expanding at a decent clip and the dollar went through several up and down cycles as well.. Biggest conundrum this time is bond prices haven't gone down yet..
